New York Rangers Need To Keep Structure Tight In Game 5

After Henrik Lundqvist stole the show in Game 4, the New York Rangers need to keep the physical, nasty, structured play going in Game 5.

By Robby SaboAfter two-games of such pure, unadulterated skill from the Tampa Bay Lightning, Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers came up with another one of their signature statement games.

In fact, it was the lone game of the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs that allowed Blueshirts faithful to actually enjoy a Rangers win. No one-goal affair in Game 4, it was New York early and often, finishing the Lightning 5-1 on their own home ice.

From the get-go, it was apparent what the Rangers strategy was. They decided they couldn’t get in the run and gun nature of play head coach Jon Cooper preaches. That type of game yielded 12-goals in two games against Lundqvist and company.
